Clear Your Mind Before Setting Down | Repetition of the Five Holy Name SIMRAM

EXCERPTS FROM SARDAR BAHADUR JAGAT SINGH MAHARAJS

Letter to seekers and disciples 1948 – 1951

47. Ups and down in business and in most things in life are natural, but worry never help any body. The proper thing is to handle the situation in the light of your experience and worldly wisdom and with faith and hope.

BEFORE SETTING DOWN, CLEAR YOUR MIND OF ALL THOUGHTS, THEN DO YOUR SIMRAM (REPETITION OF THE FIVE HOLY NAME) with love and faith.

49. A very slow process, except in the case of those who have trodden the path in a previous incarnation.

50. The real appreciation come when one is able to vacate the body, “go in” and contact Nam.
When you devote yourself to Meditation and Nam, these things will come automatically.

51. Physically pain is compelling and disturbing, no doubt, but the habit of Simram at the eye center make you indifferent to pain to a very great extent.

For you have not yet developed that power and it would only scatter what little you have get. However, you may draw their attention to spiritual realities and spiritual comforts, and render whatever physical service is possible.

52. When the concentration is complete, the sound will come of itself. the function of sound is to pull the soul up. The sound cannot pull it up unless the attention has been withdrawn from the entire body by means of Repetition, just as a magnet cannot attract a piece of iron which is lying been its magnetic field. It is the function of SIMRAM (Repetition of five Holy Names) to bring about the stillness and concentrating of mind. Repetition should be performed while the attention is fixed at the eye center.

Our spiritual Journey begins from toes of the feet and ends at the crown of the head. We come up to the yes via Simram. From we travel to the fifth stage, at the top of the head, with the help of Sound Current.

TWO AND HALF HOURS AT A TIME YOU SHOULD SIT | Meditation Technique

EXCERPTS FROM SARDAR BAHADUR JAGAT SINGH MAHARAJS

Letter to seekers and disciples 1948 – 1951

39. You should do well to grasp the technical connection between the mind and the body the object of initiation is to enable the disciple to concentrate all his attention and consciousness at the EYE CENTER (THE THINKING CENTER) so that he may be able to contact the shabd, the Divine Melody which is resounding within and with its help, go up and reach the highest spiritual region whence it emanates.

As long as the Mind is attached to outward form and is ruled by sense pleasures, it cannot go up the thinking center. yielding to the sense also weakens the intrinsic power of the mind, for them it has to depend for its pleasure and enjoyment on external objects instead of upon itself. forms change and their pleasures also are short lived, besides occasionally giving one a severe shock. If man were to make himself independent of outward form and seek happiness and enjoyment within, he would grow strong and be able to go in at will then he would shed all his weaknesses and hold the mind and senses in control.

Lust is perhaps the strongest of the five enemies and must fought. Adding fuel to the fire only increase the conflagration and certainly does not extinguish it. I would suggest that you control it consciously. By dwelling upon its harmful effects.

By developing the opposite qualities, i.e. controlled and virtuous life, and realizing the Immense help it gives in Spiritual life

By keeping yourself busy with your duties. When means and circumstances permit, you may marry and settle down, and lead a controlled married life.

40. You now have the technique for meditation and you should find regular time for it everyday. If you cannot sit for TWO AND HALF HOURS AT A TIME YOU SHOULD SIT AS LONG AS YOU CONVENIENTLY CAN AND THEN INCREASE THE PERIOD GRADUALLY. If you pressed too much for time you may divided it into two periods, but it is always preferable to have one long sitting. The important thing is to withdraw the current of consciousness from the body and hold it at the eye center.

You should never try to force your views on them but should win them over by your conduct and if you are true to your spiritual duties, it is bound to influence them.

41. Please try to find a better house and, till you get another, try to make yourself as comfortable as you can under the circumstances. One should strive, but without being affected by the results.

42. I may at once tell you that black magic will not touch you if you are true to your pledges as a satsangi and do you Repetition of Names properly. Black Magic affect only weak – willed people. Even non satsangis cannot be affected by it if they posses a strong will.

Troubles and disappointment and even failures do come to us in life. We should face them with a strong will and with faith and confidence in the Master. You have been taught to rise above these distractions. By faith and regular Repetition of the Sacred Names. Similarly, when you fear adverse influences, you should not think of them but of the Master and Nam and try to take your attention to the eye center with quiet Mental Repetition of the Five Holy Names given to you at the time of initiation.

A spirit of Mutual accommodation is far more helpful then cold logic.

Make the Mind Motionless | Bell Sound Comes From the Left Ear

 EXCERPTS FROM SARDAR BAHADUR JAGAT SINGH MAHARAJS

Letter to seekers and disciples 1948 – 1951

29. You were initiated about five years ago. An initiate is expected to devote a minimum of two and a half hours every day to his devotions. If you had given so much time daily, even to repetition alone, the mind would have been stilled.

The first step is to make the mind motionless by means of Repetition, with the attention fixed at the eye center. During numerous past births, the mind has acquired the habit of wandering out. It is not still for even a moment. Constant and concerted labor is required for many years to make the mind motionless the mind is still, it cannot go in.

The reason for your inability to go in is not vasectomy, but the lack of regular and continuous practice of repetition. If you want results, you should devote at least two hours daily to repetition. With attention and half an hours to the listening the Sound Currents, regularly. There is no simpler and surer method than this.

Mind is not ordinary power that will easily submit to out control. It rules the world so long as attention is confined within the nine portal of the body, it is out of control. Our control over the mind increase in juxtaposition to the widrawal of the current from the extremities of the body toward the eye center. when the withdrawal is complete and the mind comes under control, the attention is held at the eye center and is able to take full advantage of the Sound Current by rising and riding on it.

30. You should also devote the maximum time that you can, and certainly not less than two and one half hour every day to the spiritual exercise(two hours to repetition of the holy names and one half hour to hearing the internal sound) if you do that regularly and lovingly, the situation will improve.

31. The sound is always there and it is a good thing that the BELL SOUND COMES to you pay attention to it only when it comes from the right ear or the forehead. It should be ignore when it COMES FROM THE LEFT EAR. You should attend to no sound, not even the BELL SOUND when EMANATES FROM THE LEFT.

Repetition of the Sacred Names | Eye Focus

EXCERPTS FROM SARDAR BAHADUR JAGAT SINGH MAHARAJS

Letter to seekers and disciples 1948 – 1951 

25. The Confusion of MIND and BRAIN is not the result of MEDITATION - it is possible that mind goes out during repetition, and on account of worldly worries and difficulties, the mind does not sick to repetition but confuses the brain by generating external thoughts. It should be kept quiet and peaceful at the time and at least during Meditation. A disciple has to fight with his mind and bring under control by making motionless.

27. CONCENTRATES ON THE REPETITION OF THE SACRED NAMES, with the attention centered at the EYE FOCUS, and when that is complete, the struggle will be won. You need not entertain fear of any trouble, disability or death occurring during Meditation.
Yes the concentration will go on improving if you repeat the holy names lovingly and steady fastly. Short period of meditation of at least one half hour each, in addition to the usual regular periods, are helpful and you may utilize such intervals.

To practice Meditation at a time when stomach is empty and the food has been digested is decidedly better.

You need not talk to other about this path, which is new to you, until you have gained a surer footing and richer experiences. Your life your mental poise and your behavior will automatically impress others, and they will themselves wonder and inquire as to what has brought about the change.

28. MAGIC, SPIRITUALISM AND ALL SUCH PRACTICES ARE ANTAGONISTIC TO RADHA SWAMI PATH. Any one who indulges in them cannot expect to make progress in concentration and meditation. No such person can get initiation unless and until he gives up such pursuits. Also any disciple who wishes to make spiritual progress will have to sever connection with all those who practice black magic, spiritualism and like.

You should go on giving time to your Repetition and Concentration. Them no evil influence can touch you.

Repetition of the Holy Names | Eye Focus

EXCERPTS FROM SARDAR BAHADUR JAGAT SINGH MAHARAJS

Letter to seekers and disciples 1948 – 1951

5. Man is the top of all creation, the perfect handiwork of Nature in all respects. He contains within himself the key to unlock the Mystery of the Universe and to control the creator.

Having come up to the top of the evolutionary ladder, he should now step onto the Ladder of NAM and tread the spiritual path that will untimately lead him to the DIVINE HOME whence he come, if he fails to do so, he slide down and according to his karmas, his desires inclination, he will have to sojourn in this world of change.

In the humand body, the EYE CENTER is the spot which represent the end of one course and the beginning of the other.

6. The first step toward spiritual practice is to undrstand the object of hearing the shabd. The function of shab is to lift the soul upward and inward, to the higher planes. But shabd is unable to lift the soul so long as it is not withdrawn from the entire body and collect in the eye focus. Just as a fine piece of cloth, with entangled in a thorny bust, is torn shreds if one tries to pull it up forcibly, without first disengaging it from each thorn, similarly the SHABD would not lift the soul up so long as it is permeatin every pore of the body, though the sound may be audible.

Therfore, the first step is to withdraw the attention currents from the body up to the point where the sound can lift it this is brought about by concentration of the attention in the eye center, which is possible only when the mind become motionless. There are various methods for making the mind motionless and collecting the attention currents in the eye. But the simplest and the easiest of them all is the REPETITION OF THE HOLY NAMES prescribed by the saints while the attention is fixed between the eye. In fact it is the mind that does the repeating.

It is not an easy matter to bring the mind under control and make it tranquil and motionless. it requires year of patient labor. When concentration is complete and the soul current have been withdrawn up to the eye center, the attention should be kept up there with the help of DHYAN, which is contemplation of the radiant form of the master.

7. The attention currents should be collected into the EYE FOCUS. The attention should be fixed at the place between and above the eye, where one ordinarily keeps the attention when thinking. The bell sound does not lift the soul until the attention currents from the entire body have been collected in the EYE FOCUS.
